Robot fish to find debris in the river

Probably many have noticed how much contaminated water,
whether river, lake or sea. Throughout the world, especially in the
ports can be seen floating on the water surface litter, but can
contaminate water and various substances that can not always be noticed.
To solve the problem of water pollution, scientists have designed and
built a fish robot
designed to search for water

pollution. Thus, people can more quickly
locate debris or other cause pollution and purify the water in a timely
manner. In addition to patrol ports, robotic fish can be used to monitor the diver and rescue operations.

It is now being tested robotic fish in the northern Spanish port
of Gijon. The robot was specially made in the form of fish, which allows
the robot to fit into the environment so as not to embarrass the other
fish and animals with their presence. Five-meter robot fin on the back
can move like a real fish. The robot determines the contaminants through
special sensors. The data obtained, the robot transfers to shore
station. The presence of artificial intelligence allows the robot to
avoid obstacles, analyze your location, calculate the time to return to
base if the battery charge is naiskhode. In total, the battery charge
lasts for eight hours. Robotic fish designed to detect water pollution
have been tested in the Port of Gijon, Spain. Project manager is Luke Speller
